My Monaco GP is missing the black plexi on the back. I have been trying for some time now to locate another one with no luck.

If I remember correctly, PP has the same type of black plexi on the back, but obviously the cab comes from a different manufcaturer.

If you look at the 2 cabinets, they look very similar in dimension. Any chance they could be the same template with just different game innards?

EDIT: after looking at these pics, I'm guessing no on second thought :(
 
Sorry, but they look nothing alike, as you said in your edit. I can tell from a glance that the plexi is a different design too. My friend knows someone who used to work with plexiglass though, if I can get in touch with him maybe he could make you a custom.

I really appreciate the offer but will probably just have to hold out. Anytime I hear the word "custom" I hear "100dollars......." and I simply have no cash right now.

Yeah, it's no problem, I don't even know if he works with the stuff anymore. :p I would just feel bad to not mention it, haha
 
Plexi

Lowes and such places sell the 1/16" thick stuff that you can bend in a radius to match the PPs back glass. Never tried it on a Sega.
 
google bending plexi, may be something you can DIY

Yeah, IIRC cnlmoore on these forums bent some plexi canopies. I think he used a heat strip of some sort to bend it. I dunno how much something like that costs though.
